Meanwhile, there was a tendency for the frequency of standing alert to decrease, however, there was no difference in (P>0.05) between the different phases of music.
When the periods of music increased, the frequency of ingestion increased. The results showed that the frequency of ingestion (P=0.003) and standing alert (P=0.004) during 10 hours observation were affected when music was played. The behavior of horses was observed from 9:00 to 19:00. During the days the classical music was played from 9:00 to 14:00. The 5th period was for 3 days when no music was played. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th periods were 3-day periods of music. The 1st period was a 3-day control period during which no music was played. The study was to investigate the effects of playing classical music on the general behaviors of stabled horses (n=4, performed stereotypies) in 5 periods. Our preliminary study focused on using classical music for stabled horses which had stereotypic behaviors. The potential benefits of music on animals might be through auditory enrichment which modifies the behavior of animals. To treatment are discussed, both in terms of reducing the behaviour and improving the horse’s quality of life.
Seen as undesirable responses to the stable environment, their causal basis and the effectiveness of different approaches Re-training of horses and their owners and redirection of the activities to less harmful forms. These have allowed theĭevelopment of new treatments based on removing the causal factors, improving the horses’ social and nutritional environment, Identifying those factors closely associated with the performance of stereotypies in stabled horses. Of equine stereotypies has advanced significantly in recent years with epidemiological, developmental and experimental studies In the stable environment and even suggesting prevention of the activities alone can lead to increased distress. Stereotypies, claiming they are indicative of poor welfare, citing negative emotions such as boredom, frustration or aversion In contrast, welfare scientists have described such activities as apparently abnormal The broad descriptor of undesirable stable vices and treatment has centred on prevention of the behaviours per se rather thanĪddressing their underlying causes. Traditionally activities such as these have been classed amongst Apparently functionless, repetitive behaviour in horses, such as weaving or crib-biting has been difficult to explain forīehavioural scientists, horse owners and veterinarians alike.
